I'm trying to use slugify, which I installed using pip3 install slugify. However, in the interpreter, if I try to slugify the string 'hello' I see the following:
Python 3.5.2 (default, Nov 17 2016, 17:05:23)
Type "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
IPython 5.1.0 -- An enhanced Interactive Python.

object? -> Details about 'object', use 'object??' for extra details.
In [1]: from slugify import slugify
In [2]: slugify('hello')

26 unicodedata.normalize('NFKD', string)

By contrast, in Python 2 the latter does work:
Python 2.7.12 (default, Nov 19 2016, 06:48:10)
Type "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
IPython 2.4.1 -- An enhanced Interactive Python.

object? -> Details about 'object', use 'object??' for extra details.
In [1]: from slugify import slugify
In [2]: slugify(u'hello')
Out[2]: u'hello'
How can I get this to work in Python 3?
